Summary

  • Taylor Hay’s BlackberryPi Handheld is fuelled by a Raspberry Pi, a Pimoroni HyperPixel screen, a Blackberry keyboard and trackpad, along with three 18650 cells and a power bank PCB.
  • The surprisingly simple modules used have helped Hay create an almost GameBoy-like form factor.
  • Hay has made the design files available to the public, encouraging people to remix and improve the handheld.
  • This is not the first Raspberry Pi handheld to use a Blackberry keyboard, with another iteration having been previously highlighted by Hackaday in August 2023.
  • The growing popularity of small, inexpensive Linux single-board computers has prompted many hackers to design portable computers using the hardware.
